A pleasant day to all of you.  I am posting this question to seek help before I decided to install FreeBSD on my system/setup.  My computer's configuration is as follows:

CPU              -   AMD K6/2 - 450Mhz (2.4v)
Motherboard  - EpOX MVP3-G2 - Via Apollo Chipsets
Memory          - 128MB (2 x 64MB; 1-EliteMT-single sided + 1-Hyundai - single sided)
Hardisk          - 1 x 8.4GB (Seagate - EIDE - Master - 2 partitions) + 1 x 4.3GB (Seagate - EIDE - 2nd Master - no partition)
Video Card    - S3 Savaged-3D (86c391) - 8MB w/ TV Out
Monitor          - Generic 15"
Sound Card   - Yamaha - Xwave - XG3000 chipset
Modem          - Acer Fax/Modem w/ voice - V.90 - external
Printer            - Epson Stylus Color - 660
OS Installed   -  Windows 98 SE

What I would like to know is if FressBSD will work on my current configuration.  I am planning to install it on my second harddisk (4.3GB), will it be possible? How can I do it?  Also, if there is no problem in installing FreeBSD on my system...can I use Boot Magic for the multi-OS booting system? If not...any suggestion?

Thank you very much.  Your consideration on my inquiry is very much appreciated. 

PS.

I have completed the download of FreeBSD 3.4 & 4.0 iso-images and already burned on CDs.  Whick of the two do you suggest I better or more compatible on my system?

Again...thank you and keep sharing your knowledge to us who needs it...thanx! :)
